fwiw, this ticket worked, except at Woking, where they checked it and let me through

I want to travel Woking - London Waterloo -> walk to -> Waterloo East -> London Bridge -> Gatwick Airport. The tickets: CDS £16.80 (via Gomshall) - i.e. Woking - Guildford - Redhill - Gatwick SDS £18.40 (not via London) - i.e. Woking - Clapham Junction - East Croydon - Gatwick SDS £33.00 (✠ANY...

It looks like the condition is quite recently diagnosed https://twitter.com/sarah_hilary/status/927576856701947904 Also the son used to be a daughter, if that makes a difference. https://twitter.com/sarah_hilary/status/470622797539328000

They get 1/3 off both their tickets, because the child has a disabled railcard. That saving could be used to buy a more flexible ticket. Presumably the child also gets DLA, which is intended to cover the extra costs of being disabled, as it is I think a requirement for getting the railcard. (By...

It looks like she got free travel & first class seats as well. https://twitter.com/sarah_hilary/status/1054413889012723713 She has written in the past about lack of seat reservations: https://twitter.com/sarah_hilary/status/1017710065141329920 So I don't quite understand why you'd book a...

The lack of period returns adds another layer of complexity. If you miss the last train or for whatever reason decide to stay out a bit later or whatever then your journey becomes two singles, even if you have already bought a return. A 7pm - 7am journey costs more than a 7am - 7pm journey even...

A summary of their examples: Boston to Skegness - 'any permitted' becomes <blank>: these are five stations apart on the end of a branch line. Morpeth to Durham - 'any permitted' becomes <blank>: again, just a few stations apart with one possible route Maidenhead to London Terminals - becomes...

There is a consultation https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/EasierFaresConsultation "Fares designed so that it is unnecessary to buy a ‘split-ticket’ in order to get the cheapest deal. At present, there are occasions when it is cheaper, when making a journey from A to C, to buy two or more...

I used to to do this route and generally to avoid the tube I would jog from Waterloo to Angel. (Nowadays I think I would bike it) Taking the Jubilee line in the morning was not even a consideration, nor was (though I think slightly better) queuing to get onto the W & City. There was only one...

That's wrong, it is not relevant what the form says - what is relevant is whether the job is one for which is exempt from convictions becoming spent. If it's just a normal job, and they ask if you have spent convictions, you should say 'no'. They cannot count them against you, now or in the...

There is no fare that is required to be via London. The SVR ✠ANY PERMITTED is valid via London, but you need not go that way. SVR (off-peak) ✠ANY PERMITTED is priced £30.20, while the SOR (anytime) NOT VIA LONDON is £24.80 Both are more expensive than two singles routed via Redhill (£11.90...

The Southern-priced 'via Barnham' (and also Edenbridge/Polegate and possibly some others I don't recall) are priced semi-zonally. So for instance, Bournemouth - Croydon Stations (inside zone 6) via Barnham is £26.20 CDR, £32.60 SVR, however Bournemouth - Gatwick Airport (outside zone 6) via...

well you might park at Hillingdon and take the Underground. Or go by bus.

Hastings - Ashford - Maidstone East and Hastings - Tonbridge - Maidstone West are both more-or-less the same distance (46 vs 48 miles) and perfectly reasonable, so there really isn't any need to consider more technical questions such as the meaning of 'Maidstone Stations'.

Yes this comes down to Worcester - Patchway having a cheaper 'Not Via Birmingham' and an expensive 'Any Permitted' fare. While Worcester - Newport just has a mid-priced 'Any Permitted' fare. Since there is no 'Not Via Birmingham' fare for Newport, the fares are compared based on the 'Any...

Missed a flight from Bali to London (cost - many hundreds: my fault entirely), they put me on the next flight at no charge (Singapore Airlines). And in the exit row on the (then) new A380, upstairs.

Two Advance singles most likely. It's £14 for most of the day on Sunday Cromer - Kew Bridge. Kew Bridge - Leicester is £11.55 if you can take the 10pm train from St Pancras arriving into Leicester at 11:26pm. Earlier trains are more expensive, unless going in the morning, in which case it's...
